Special
As Fast As Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who's interested in dating
Who enjoys the beach and skating
Must have good intentions
Please no drunks or smokers
Have a job and did I mention?
That I am very down to earth in all the things I've mentioned
Cause I want someone special
So special
I can tell eventually that you and I are meant to be special
So special
I think you'll be worth it, as long as you are perfect
Man seeking woman
Who doesn't mind the Harley
Loves The Beatles and Bob Marley
Lonely sugar daddy
A fit and happy Libra
If you're fun I'd love to meet you
Cause you seem very down to earth in all the things you've mentioned
So if I think I can hang with you, I hope you'll make exceptions
Cause I want someone special
So special
I can tell eventually that you and I are meant to be special
So special
I think you'll be worth it, as long as you are perfect, hey
Mustn't try to harm me, call me names or join the Army
You a liar or a cheater?
You a slob, or something neater?
Sparks may turn to flames and I'm not one for games
So will I ever find just who I'm looking for?
You better be special
So special
I can tell eventually that you and I are meant to be special
So special
I know that you'll be worth it, cause you are just so perfectly special
So special
So special
So special
So special
The song "Special" by As Fast As is a humorous take on personal ads from the perspective of both a man and a woman seeking love. The lyrics are written as if they are both placing ads, listing their interests and preferences for a potential partner. Both speakers are looking for someone who is down to earth and has good intentions. The woman wants someone who enjoys the beach and skating, while the man is looking for someone who loves The Beatles and Bob Marley and doesn't mind his Harley.
The chorus repeats the desire for someone special, and the implication is that they haven't found that yet. They both mention making exceptions if they think they can hang with each other, and they are both looking for someone who is worth it. The lyrics also list some deal-breakers, such as being a liar or a cheater, and the woman wants someone who doesn't smoke or drink excessively.
Overall, the song is a lighthearted commentary on the challenges of finding the right person, and the importance of finding someone who is special and worth the effort.
